First Bank of Nigeria has suspended the usage of the Naira Mastercard, Naira Credit Card, our Virtual card, and Visa Prepaid Naira card for international transactions due to the increasing scarcity of foreign exchange in Nigeria.

The bank also noted that foreign transactions can only be made with dollar cards with a $10,000 maximum.

The Bank stated, “Due to current market realities on foreign exchange, you will no longer be able to use the Naira Mastercard, Naira Credit Card, our Virtual card and Visa Prepaid Naira card for international transactions. This will take effect on 30 September 2022.”
